Earlier this year we reported that Apple has decided to sign up BOE as its AMOLED supplier for the upcoming budget iPhone SE4 (with a 6.1" AMOLED display). According to reports back then, Apple's low price target ($25) was not profitable for Samsung that decided to not supply any AMOLEDs for this iPhone model.
According to new reports from Korea, Apple now signed up LG Display to supply some of its iPhone SE4 panels - mostly backup (BOE had its issues with Apple before) and support, as BOE will remain the main panels supplier.
This is an interesting development. Both LG Display and Samsung will supply the high-end AMOLEDs for the iPhone 16 series - but LGD was qualified before Samsung, for the first time. We recently posted an article that discuses whether LG Display has created a technological lead over Samsung in mobile AMOLEDs.
